Italian Army Elite Units & Special Forces 1940–43 - Pier Paolo Battistelli - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Italian Army Elite Units & Special Forces 1940–43 - Pier Paolo Battistelli - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Italian military historian Pier Paolo Battistelli examines the elite and special-forces units of the Italian Army during World War II. This includes a vast array of troop types, including paratroopers, assault engineers, sea-landing and swimmer units, long-range recce and ski units, and even hand-picked Fascist ''Mussolini'' units. It also delves into the specialist tank and armoured units that were created to emulate the German armoured units. While the Italian units discussed enjoyed mixed success, the volume draws attention to the incredibly hard fighting done by some in the deserts of North Africa and the frozen wastelands of Russia. Illustrated with rare archival photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this is a fascinating insight into a little-studied aspect of Axis forces.

Jesus against the Scribal Elite - Chris (st. Mary's University Keith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Jesus against the Scribal Elite - Chris (st. Mary's University Keith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Finalist for the Biblical Foundations Book Award 2021 How did the controversy between Jesus and the scribal elite begin? We know that it ended on a cross, but what put Jesus on the radar of established religious and political leaders in the first place? Chris Keith argues that an answer to these questions must go beyond typical explanations such as Jesus''s alternative views on Torah or his miracle working and consider his status as a teacher.Keith examines Jesus'' own likely educational background, and situates Jesus within his first-century context, showing readers that some of the tensions between Jesus and the scribal authorities may have originated in Jesus'' own lack of formal education. Keith builds on his earlier work on Jesus'' literacy and uses insights from memory theory and ancient media studies to consider how Jesus'' actions and teachings may have specifically been seen to challenge an elitist scribal culture.

Eclipse of Reason - Bog af Max Horkheimer - Paperback

Eclipse of Reason - Bog af Max Horkheimer - Paperback

In his most important work, Max  Horkheimer surveys and demonstrates the gradual ascendancy of Reason in Western philosophy, its eventual total application to all spheres of life, and what he considers its present reified domination. First published in 1947, Horkheimer here explores the ways in Nazism - that most irrational of political movements - had co-opted ideas of rationality for its own ends. Ultimately, the book is a warning of the ways this might happen again and, as such, this is a book..

Work Want Work - J. A. Smith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Work Want Work - J. A. Smith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Work Want Work considers in captivating detail how a logic of work has become integral to everything we do, even as the place of formal work has become increasingly precarious. With reference to sociological data, philosophy, political theory, legislation, the testimonies of workers and an eclectic mix of cultural texts – from Lucian Freud to Google, Anthony Giddens to selfies, Jean-Luc Nancy to Amy Winehouse – Pfannebecker and Smith lay out how the capitalism of globalized technologies has put our time, our subjectivities, our experiences and our desires to work in unprecedented ways.As every part of life is colonized by work without securing our livelihoods, new questions need to be asked: whether a nostalgia for work can save us, how ideas of work change conceptions of political community, how employment and unemployment alike have become malemployment , and whether the work of our desire online can be disentangled from capitalist exploitation.The biggest question, at a time when the end of work and a fully automated future are proclaimed by Silicon Valley idealists as well as by social democratic politicians and left-wing theorists, is this: how can we propose a post-work society and culture that we will actually want?

The Museum of the Wood Age - Max Adams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Museum of the Wood Age - Max Adams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species.Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.

Gender, Work and Social Theory - Kate Huppatz - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Work and Social Theory - Kate Huppatz - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How is gender signified, produced and reproduced through paid and unpaid labour? In what ways does gender intersect with other kinds of disadvantage? How does power work through interactions, emotions and bodies? In this original synthesis of social theory and its application to gender and work, Kate Huppatz draws from classical theory and principles of the ‘cultural turn’ to explore how feminist sociology dismantles dualistic understandings of gender and scrutinizes the workings of power. In a tour de force of exposition and analysis of landmarks in the literature, Huppatz reflects upon continuities and departures in cutting-edge research on gender within organizations, unpaid domestic labour, and paid and unpaid care work.Close attention is paid to pressing issues such as the intersectionality of inequality in the workplace, relations between micro activities and larger social processes, and the impact of Covid-19 on exposing and exacerbating the gendered inequalities of work. Case examples drawn from North America, Australasia and the UK illustrate social theory in practice. Throughout, Huppatz emphasizes the importance of theoretical understandings in furthering empirical research about gender and work. She also considers the gendered division of labour within the study of work and employment itself. This key new addition to the Themes in Social Theory series is an essential read for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in this area of study across a wide range of disciplines.

Post-work - Will Stronge - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

What does the future hold for work in our new age of crisis? How do we make sure that the uncertain future into which we are heading is heavenly and not hellish? How can we take the pleasures of work with us and eliminate the pains? The answer: we need a post-work vision. Questioning the received wisdom that work is good for you, that you are what you do and that ''any job is a good job'', Post-work offers a new challenge to the work-centred society. This timely book provides a vital introduction to the post-work debate - one of the most exciting political and theoretical currents of recent years. It explores not only what the future of work will be like, but more importantly what the future of work should be like.
